In this paper, we propose a foreground extraction and depth map generation method using a time-of-flight (TOF) depth camera. Although, the TOF depth camera captures the scene's depth information in real-time, it has a built-in noise and distortion. Therefore, we perform several preprocessing steps such as image enhancement, segmentation, and 3D warping, and then use the TOF depth data to generate the depth-discontinuity regions. Then, we extract the foreground object and generate the depth map as of the color image. The experimental results show that the proposed method efficiently generates the depth map even for the object boundary and textureless regions.

Recently, due to problems in terms of illegal copying of medical image and the right ownership and authentication of data, it is necessary for us to study about those problems. In this study, we propose steganography with a method of the hiding information of high-resolution in digital medical image. The proposed algorithm is one of the way that inserts secret information by protecting ROI area which is regarded as and important feature of high-resolution digital medical image. As a result, the proposed method made it possible to insert secret information of massive storage and didn't affect the imperceptibility in medical image quality based on capacity and PSNR showed the all image quality of about 33.33dB.

The need for edge detection about topography data from the high resolution satellite imagery is happening with increasing frequency according to many people utilize the its imagery as various fields recently. Many experts is recognizing of other GIS will make use of the road detection from the high resolution satellite imagery, including ITS (Intelligent Transportation Systems) and urban planning. This paper is comparative analysis of LPF (Low Pass Filtering) and HPF (High Pass Filtering) for roads edge detection from high resolution satellite imagery. As a result, LPF and HPF can be highlight selective pixels at edge area about input data. In case or applying to other techniques such as LPF for the same purpose, they aye more effective for wide road width which often cause the slight distortion of boundary or overall change of brightness values on the whole Image. Whereas, HPF has ability to enhance selectively detailed components in a target image.

3차원 영상 제작을 위해서는 장면의 색상 영상과 함께 깊이 정보가 필요하다. 일반적으로 깊이를 측정하는 TOF 카메라에 의해 획득된 깊이 영상은 컬러 영상에 비해 매우 작은 해상도의 영상을 갖게 되는 문제가 있다. 따라서 색상 영상과 함께 3차원 영상 제작에 깊이 영상을 사용하기 위해서는 저해상도 깊이 영상의 업샘플링 방법이 필요하다. 특히 컬러 영상에서 사물 간의 경계에 해당하는 부분에서 색상 차이를 인지하지 못하여 깊이 맵을 부적절하게 처리하게 되는 경우가 발생한다. 본 논문에서는 색상 영상에서 경계부분에 해당하는 영역을 이용하여 저해상도 깊이 영상을 업샘플링 하는 방법을 제안한다. 깊이 영상을 업샘플링 할 때 중요하게 다루어야 할 경계 부분을, 고해상도 색상 영상과 저해상도 깊이 영상을 이용하여 찾아낸다. 색상 경계 부분을 고려하여 깊이 영상 업샘플링을 위한 에너지 함수를 MRF를 이용하여 모델링하고, 신뢰 확산(belief propagation)방법을 이용하여 에너지 함수 최적화를 수행한다. 제안한 방법은 기존의 다른 에너지 함수나 필터 기반 업샘플링 방법보다 우수한 성능을 나타내었다.

This study investigated how appropriate the classification methods based on conventional spectral characteristics are for high resolution imagery. A supervised classification mixing parametric and non-parametric rules, a method in which fuzzy theory is applied to such classification, and an unsupervised method were performed and compared to each other for accuracy. In addition, comparing the result screen-digitized through interpretation to the classification result using spectral characteristics, this study analyzed the conformity of both methods. Although the supervised classification to which fuzzy theory was applied showed the best performance, the application of conventional classification techniques to high resolution imagery had some limitations due to there being too much information unnecessary to classification, shadows, and a lack of spectral information. Consequently, more advanced techniques including integration with other advanced remote sensing technologies, such as lidar, and application of filtering or template techniques, are required to classify land cover/use or to extract useful information from high resolution imagery.

본 연구에서는 고해상도 위성 영상에 관한 압축을 연구하였다. 위성영상은 많은 픽셀 정보와 이루어져 있기 때문에 빠른 영상처리와 데이터 보관을 위해서 압축이 필수적이다. 특히 영상압축시 도로정보와 건물, 산림, 지형 등의 특징을 왜곡을 최소화하여 압축하여야 한다. 따라서는 본 연구에서는 함수공간에서 영상 압축이 가능한 웨이브렛을 기반하여 위성 영상의 압축기법을 제안하였으며, 일반적인 정지영상 압축 기법인 JPEG과의 압축성능을 분석하였다. 그 결과 웨이브렛 압축기법이 JPEG보다 1/10 이상의 압축 성능을 보였다.

With the development of sensor and satellite technology, numerous high-resolution and multi-spectral satellite images have been available. Due to their wavelength-dependent reflection, transmission, and scattering characteristics, multi-spectral satellite images can provide complementary information for earth observation. In particular, the short-wave infrared (SWIR) band can penetrate certain types of atmospheric aerosols from the benefit of the reduced Rayleigh scattering effect, which allows for a clearer view and more detailed information to be captured from hazed surfaces compared to the visible band. In this study, we proposed a multi-resolution transform-based image fusion method to combine visible and SWIR satellite images. The purpose of the fusion method is to generate a single integrated image that incorporates complementary information such as detailed background information from the visible band and land cover information in the haze region from the SWIR band. For this purpose, this study applied the Laplacian pyramid-based multi-resolution transform method, which is a representative image decomposition approach for image fusion. Additionally, we modified the multiresolution fusion method by combining a haze-guided weight map based on the prior knowledge that SWIR bands contain more information in pixels from the haze region. The proposed method was validated using very high-resolution satellite images from Worldview-3, containing multi-spectral visible and SWIR bands. The experimental data including hazed areas with limited visibility caused by smoke from wildfires was utilized to validate the penetration properties of the proposed fusion method. Both quantitative and visual evaluations were conducted using image quality assessment indices. The results showed that the bright features from the SWIR bands in the hazed areas were successfully fused into the integrated feature maps without any loss of detailed information from the visible bands.

Change detection, one of the main applications of multi-temporal satellite images, is an indicator that directly reflects changes in human activity. Change detection can be divided into pixel-based change detection and object-based change detection. Although pixel-based change detection is traditional method which is mostly used because of its simple algorithms and relatively easy quantitative analysis, applying this method in VHR (Very High Resolution) images cause misdetection or noise. Because of this, pixel-based change detection is less utilized in VHR images. In addition, the sensor of acquisition or geographical characteristics bring registration noise even if co-registration is conducted. Registration noise is a barrier that reduces accuracy when extracting spatial information for utilizing VHR images. In this study object-based change detection of VHR images was performed considering registration noise. In this case, object-based change detection results were derived considering various pixel-based change detection methods, and the major voting technique was applied in the process with segmentation image. The final object-based change detection result applied by the proposed method was compared its performance with other results through reference data.
